I have had Stella for over 10 years and it is one of the earliest bloomers besides Happy Returns. Stella is a wonderful bloomer and I have not babied it at all. It is in a spot where my garden hose does not reach so it probably does not get the necessary water a plant should need and yet it does great. I have only divided it about 3 times in that time period. Although it is a great plant, I do prefer Happy Returns as it seems to have a lot more scapes on it than Stella.
